When I saw this in the vault I was excited to see a Lush product . I managed to secure one. I haven't purchased Lush in a long while and I was thankful to have this as a treat.
When it arrived I was surprised to see such a generous sized bottle. First time I've had a 500 ml bottle . It's great I can see how long this bottle will last me if I was to buy this size in the future. Typically Lush comes in clear bottles so you can see the product through it. This shower cream is a vibrant bright yellow colour. I found the consistency very runny. For the last few weeks I've been trying to figure out the scent of this. The scent that I can smell is this tangy grapefruit citrusy burst with this smooth coconut pulling together a very unusual scent. It's a strong punchy scent. It's either a love it or hate it kind of scent. My partner smelled it in our shower and was disgusted by the smell of it. I don't mind it at all though.
With a flannel I found it difficult to lather . With a shower puff it foams up well. During application it's fragrant. Even after showering I can still smell this shower cream on my body an hour later. I've got plenty of uses remaining in my bottle. I could easily get another two months use from this.
There's plenty of mixed reviews for this shower cream because I think it's a very unusual scent. I didn't pick up on the chocolate orange scent at all which is a bit of a disapointment. Smelled more like tangy fruits. At this stage I'm not sure if I'd purchase or recommend it.
This will be such a mixed review as I have such mixed feelings about this product!
Orange chocolate? Nope I don't smell that at all, which is rather dissapointing because that was a selong point for me when I picked it up in the recent beauty vault. Citrus? Yes! it smells very zesty and fruity. I'm unaware what yuzu is so maybe that's where the fruityness comes from? sadly I don't get the cocoa part.
The consistency, runny! I mean it is a cream not a shower gel, I guess I was expecting something a wee bit thicker not something that'd run through your fingers and spill all through the shower. BUT! it's something I can live with! Squirt some onto a shower puff and wha la, problem solved. The cream lathers up beautifully in a puff and makes it soooo much easier to use.
I love using this in my morning showers, it's fresh fruity and colourful! It sets the tone for my morning. Bright and Cheerful!
While this isn't my fave lush product I don't particularly mind it. I'm just really in 2 minds about it.
It's a nice addition to my morning showers, I'm just unsure if it's something that I'd buy once I've run out.
Tips: Use a shower puff as the consistency a little runny
